This has been my conclusion as well. Do you have any books or websites you can link so that I can read more on the “historical” view?

Welcome to FR.
Did you post under a different username previously?
I find it odd that a new signer upper thinks he can start posting articles - esp about controversial topics - right away.

The Antichrist sitting in the temple and declaring himself to be "god" is called in Scripture the "Abomination of Desolation".
Was the birth and death of Jesus Christ an abomination?

The handle sounds like Rush’s word for the Philadelphia Eagles: Iggles. Iggles Phan = Eagles Fan.

So what your saying is we will live through the tribulation and face God’s wrath upon the earth and its inhabitants?

I first came upon this line of thinking in Matthew Henry’s commentaries (very excellent). The argument goes that the abomination of desolation would have been the Roman armies, with their pagan symbols, surrounding the Holy City. Check out Josephus’s War Of the Jews. There were signs and wonders which preceded the destruction of Jerusalem that were quite incredible, so to a certain degree it is reasonable to conclude that scripture either had a double meaning or was referring to that destruction.
Of course, I have not studied any of this for a couple of years.

The term “Rapture” is in the Latin Vulgate, circa 400 AD.
If there is no rapture, then just what is 1 Thessalonians 4:17 about?

The Abomination of Desolation doesn't have anything to do with the destruction of Jerusalem.
The phrase abomination of desolation refers to Matthew 24:15: So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniellet the reader understand. This is referring to Daniel 9:27, He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

Wasn't this whole Rapture thing first started in the 1970's???

Never mind - just found "John Nelson Darby first proposed and popularized the pre-tribulation rapture in 1827. "

Well, you like everyone else on earth are given a choice to believe whatever you choose to by the good Lord himself. Just don't be surprised when it doesn't work out the way you choose to believe.
